Episode 578 of @dressed_podcast: Charlotte Brontë’s Life Through Clothes with @eleanorhoughtonhistorian This small fragment of printed muslin is thought to have come from a dress once worn by Charlotte Brontë. The vibrant print captures the spirit of early Victorian textile design: bold, stylised and unexpectedly modern. By comparing the fragment with other surviving examples and reconstructing the full repeat, we can glimpse the colour, movement and even the imagination that helped shape Charlotte’s visual world. To find out more, read ‘Charlotte Brontë’s Life Through Clothes’ (Bloomsbury, 2026) by Eleanor Houghton, out now. Images of Charlotte’s actual fabric, ©️Brontë Society (taken by EH), all other fabrics dated to between 1835 and 1860, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and all drawings, paintings and other images ©️Eleanor Houghton. #brontë #brontes #dresshistory #nineteenthcentury #dresshistorian
